Hublot Arsham Droplet Ref. 916.NX.5202.NK live photos

Dear All,

I had the pleasure to try the Hublot Arsham Droplet Ref. 916.NX.5202.NK . I am intrigued: is different than any watch I have but, given the price, I wonder if it will resist the test of time. It is not very light and perhaps having it always in the pocket might not be as cool as during the honeymoon period. I am happy to share some live photos: let me know what you think !

Reminds me of the shape of the white out pen.

Reminds me of knuckledusters. Has it any particular function, striking mechanism as it is a kind of pocket watch?

oh that's not great ...if it reminds you of a weapon !! is just a pocket watch with the possiblity to use it as a clock

I've seen the price

If there was at least a turbo (tourbillon for friends), it might be justified, but it's just the Meca 10-days movement. Have you seen the MP-10? I know the price is even higher, but Hublot has the means to make nice and bold watches, sometimes a better de...

wise words my friend! Indeed is very pricey for being a non-tourbillon I guess

the sapphire case makes part of the cost but still ..difficult to know how much "pocket time" 😂 it would really get ..so many options at this price point ! I never had the chance to see the MP-10 but I did see other watches, including a tourbillon, which ...

It's very cool!

I can't say I have to own one as I don't think it's my taste. But I would say it is VERY COOL. Definitely for someone who likes very Avantgarde things like Richard Milles.

Thanks ! Indeed is very special and unlike anything else..it does remind me of the RM style which

also made a pocket watch!

I've held the RM pocket watch!

This Hublot is more interesting to me since the shape is so unusual and it's in sapphire. But I've only come close to buying one pocket watch and that was a Vacheron Constantin. And in the end, I didn't buy it since I knew one day I'd drop it!

ahh here the chain is very robust! so dropping it is not a big issue. It also comes with a chain to wear on the neck! 🤭

By: christianch : December 28th, 2024-09:23

I did try it even on the neck. It is a look..😂

Necklace watch! Fun!

I don't have the habit of wearing things around my neck, but that does sound like a cool idea.

Interesting many thanks for sharing

you are welcome! I found very few live pics of it online so I thought I had to share it!

It's cool but ... one pants pocket is already solely dedicated to a phone and the other would be solely dedicated to this. So what to do with those nasty coins and keys?

By: InDebtButOnTime : December 28th, 2024-15:13

If forced with that choice I guess I'd let them beat up my phone.
